Was Gäste sagen

Im Macdonald Botley Park Hotel & Spa loben Reisende häufig den freundlichen Service und die geräumigen, komfortablen Zimmer. Häufige Kritikpunkte sind jedoch veraltete Innenräume, kleinere Instandhaltungsmängel, eine uneinheitliche Sauberkeit und gelegentliche Personalmangel, der zu langsam oder ungleichmäßigem Service führt.

Freizeiteinrichtungen umfassen einen Pool, eine Sauna und ein Dampfbad; einige Gäste genießen sie, während andere von einem kleinen oder kühlen Pool, gelegentlichen Schließungen und dem Fehlen einer Whirlpool-Anlage berichten. Mehrere Bewertungen erwähnen begrenzte Steckdosen am Bett, eine instabile WLAN- oder Mobilfunkverbindung sowie Eigenheiten bei der Klimaanlage oder Sanitäranlagen; die Lage ist ruhig und günstig für Southampton und Kreuzfahrten.

Die Bewertungen zum Essen sind gemischt: Das Abendessen kann akzeptabel, aber überteuert mit einer begrenzten Speisekarte sein, und das Frühstück wird oft als preiswert oder lauwarm kritisiert, obwohl es auch Gäste gab, die es genossen haben. Erwarten Sie einen praktischen Aufenthalt mit ausreichend Platz und Annehmlichkeiten, der jedoch durch abgenutzte Ausstattung und uneinheitlichen Service gemindert wird.

Clean, spacious room. Quiet. Comfy bed, slept really well. A lovely pool that didn’t get busy. Breakfast was OK, breakfast staff very polite, friendly and helpful. Room needs a bit of updating and the crack in the ceiling seen to, but a minor point. I had a lovely, relaxed stay.

We used the hotel to do Paultons park. Nice size family room but they really need some TLC. No tv remote, no A/C only heat coming out so the room was boiling. The most disappointing was the bathroom- get some mould and Mildew remover, and clean the drains. Restaurant food was a bit of a hit and miss depending on what you ordered.

Basin in bathroom had chips to the enamel. Broken bin in bathroom. Marks on walls Expected more for the price we paid. Our room was also given to another guest who we found trying to get into our room. Lot of noise from guests in room above, bad insulation?

Carpet in bedroom going threadbare and in halls worn to the point of contouring and threadbare in places. Shower controls and fittings were coming off and the screen wasn't that effective at keeping water in the shower. TV remote filthy. Tables in dining room and outside not wiped down properly and dirty. Food of catering pack/boil in the bag quality and mean portions not reflective of the price. Staff in restaurant forgot orders and said they could not change meal bookings- later reception staff told us this wasn't true. No instructions in men's changing room of swimming pool on what to do with used towels despite charge for not returning them, which wasn't explained when they were handed out. The same (probably staff?) car parked in the only disabled bay without a blue badge for the whole time we were there. We were asked to pay for a meal at the bar which we hadn't had and wasn't signed for. Thankfully staff did not insist on payment as it wasn't signed for. Hotel was hard to reach on the phone to cancel a meal booking and they didn't seem to notice when we didn't turn up. Would have been happier if the price reflected the quality.

Hotel is very dated + tired, we stayed in a suite, the kids were given camp beds with broken springs so they basically slept on the floor. Coffee machine in room didn't work, bathroom was not the cleanest, we kept finding long dark hairs everywhere. We ate in the hotel restaurant, again not the cleanest. Cobwebs in most corners + dust along the windowsills. Windows in restaurant were filthy. Sofas in the bar area have had their day - basically like sitting on the floor. Food at dinner was good and the service was prompt. Breakfast was basic but as expected. It was OK for the night, we would likely not return.

I have stayed here a few times for various reasons and each time its an enjoyable experience. We had an issue with our bathroom this stay, which would have been obvious when the bedroom was cleaned after the previous guests left. Havent used the spa or sporting facilites, but they look good if you need a gotel with these features. The price to stay is always very reasonable.

Room was nice and spacious. We booked a standards king room for 2 nights and had a mini fridge which was a nice addition. Air con was a bit confusing to use and it was a shame there were no plugs to charge our electrical items near the bed at all. The only outlets were near the desk and lamp on the other side of the room and this does impact the stay when you need to use your phone etc. more plugs around the rooms would help so much.

Short staffed so room not ready. Receptionist was complaining about how busy they were & not happy. 2nd receptionist when eventually room was ready long wait, ask for table in restaurant to be booked for 8pm confirmed all sorted plus free round of drinks for the inconvenience of wait & room not ready. Hotel very tired, ripped carpets, damaged & stained furniture, tables full of empty glasses, cups, plates etc. food on floors in bar areas. Arrived at restaurant at 8pm no booking but had to wait 10 minutes before anyone came to speak to us to even ask our names, restaurant had only 8 tables occupied so told no room for us to use the bar, had just left the bar and 3 couples had the wrong food and not happy. Eventually the restaurant manager was called and sorted a table. Food excellent but hotel and staff shockingly poor!

Now stayed here 3 times. Room is comfortable but a long way from the reception. On this occasion waited a while to be checked in, with only one member of staff greeting guests. Car parking is free and it is about a 20/25 minute drive into central Southampton. Location is relevant to price as the hotels in central Southampton are more expensive and you have to pay for parking at all of them.

Frequently Unmanned reception, unmanned bar and couldn’t get room service. Staff when they were there at breakfast were too busy talking to each other about another member of staff than helping us. Asked for breakfast off the menu I was handed but was told to use the buffet. Couldn’t get bottled water for ages, asked for tea at the bar, was told to take a seat and it would come out, I had to ask 2 staff and was waiting 35 minutes. I found the place over priced, understaffed and noisey at night. Definitely not good value and will not stay again, cannot recommend it at all.

**Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5)** **Peaceful stay with great amenities and service** I had a lovely stay at MacDonald Botley Park Hotel & Spa. It’s located in a quiet, green area, which makes it perfect for a relaxing break. The hotel offers great leisure facilities—there’s a pool, squash courts, massage services, a sauna, and even a dance room, which really add to the experience. The lounge area is spacious and cozy, everything was clean, and the staff were truly excellent—friendly, helpful, and professional throughout our stay. Parking was easy, and the prices felt fair for what you get. There are a few things to be aware of: the heating system is a bit old and can be noisy, and both the furniture and electronics could use some updating. Also, not all rooms have a fridge, which would be useful. Overall, though, this is a great place to unwind. With a few updates, it could easily be a 5-star experience. I'd happily return!

Breakfast doesnt work... it was like the wild west especially with small children around.

When eventually we were checked in, we were told that he room was not yet ready (in spite of the time being nearly 17:00 hrs. In consequence, we were kept waiting for another extended period. However, once all this was done, our room was excellent and very comfortable. The food offering at Dinner and Breckfast was very good.

Stayed 3 nights on business, hotel rooms and gym quite good. Breakfast ok but evening meals are an absolute rip off. £19 for an overcooked small burger with skinny chips or £18 for a breaded fish from Iceland by the looks of it with a thimble of mussy peas and skinny chips. Both meals were below average and £7.60 a pint or £13 a glass, YES A GLASS of wine. Shocking, won't be back there in a hurry.

I chose this hotel for the facilities and they did not let us down. The bed was luxurious and I slept like a baby. The really disappointing thing was the breakfast. For £44 for two people you would expect at the very least that the items were cooked. The sausages were so anaemic that it was hard to get the fork into them and the egg whites on the fried eggs were still liquid. There were no hash browns all in all a very disappointing end to a lovely stay.

It was my husband & my 2nd stay as hotel is very handy for Southampton & surrounding areas. We had a warm friendly welcome from Robert on our arrival. Our room was spacious enough and clean. We were unimpressed with the restaurant food at the hotel on our 1st visit, but decided to give it another chance, unfortunately it was at equally disappointing this time. It was tasteless and extremely overpriced. Also, the service from the gentleman serving the food to the table was terrible. He spilt my husbands rice on my side of the table and then put it down in front of my husband with the rice spilt and he didn’t say a word. No one came back at all during our meal to check if everything was ok. The girls serving were friendly enough, but the restaurant manager was there too and wandering around the restaurant, but he never spoke to anyone. We are staying at the hotel again in 2 weeks time, as the hotel itself is fine, but we definitely will not be eating in the restaurant again. The other plus point is the electric charging points, although more are required.
